Hi all

I am currently using HP laptop, with RADEON ATI Mobility HD5650
The issue I am currently having is that whenever I play a game i.e. Frozenthrone
the game appears in half of what it should be, and there are black parts to each side.
So basically I am stuck with a game screen in the middle..

I am not too comfortable with graphic cards and its configuration..

Can anyone help??

Regards

Have you selected a widescreen resolution in the game? That is what should happen when you choose a 4:3 resolution, but not all laptops do it and some will distort the 4:3 game to fill the screen like the way that some people like to watch TV.
